The player accumulating the most place points in the year will win the prize of £1000. In the event of a tie the prize will be shared.
For the purposes of the competition the 'year' is events which finish in the period 1st October to 30th September (some events may start before that date).
In the event of a tie for any placings, the points for that and the lower position will be shared, with the exception of the final award in which case the lowest award will be given to both pairs/teams. For example, a tie for 2nd and 3rd place in the National Pairs would see both pairs awarded 3 points - (4+2)/2. If two pairs tied for 4th in the National Pairs, all four players would receive 1 point.
While this competition will appeal to those battling for the top prize, we also hope that it will prompt some friendly rivalries amongst those lower down the points list as they vie for bragging rights and aim to see their name listed alongside the game's elite. Previous experience indicates that the prize money will be covered by an increase in entries.
